I woke up from the sirens of the vehicle blaring through my ears. My two sisters must of been taken inside because I didn't see them here. Slowly creeping my way out of the back, I spotted doors to the hospital. It was only a few feet away, but knowing that my parents are gone...made everything ten times more intense. Pushing open the doors really opened my eyes. To my left I saw Anna and Elizabeth being checked by doctors. Straight ahead were more doors. "Which way do I go? Left, to care for my sisters,or straight and go solo?" Guilt then struck over me. "Jackass. I'm staying and protecting the only family I got left. As long as I'm able to guard them, I will." When I entered the room, I asked the doctor what is wrong with them. He told me that Anna has a minor concussion, and Elizabeth is suffering from trauma. It appeared to me that I had to 'raise' them without Mom or Dad. Thats what I saw from the situation.
When the doctors turned to my sisters again, I fell back against the wall. Letting myself fall, I was only motivated enough sit and cry. Thats all I did...all I could do. A few nurses came over and asked if I was okay, but I had no strength to reply. Face in hands, elbows to knees, I just sat there and cried until I couldn't anymore. My parents have passed and I'm not ready to watch over my siblings. Whats going to happen to us? "Son, we're going to keep you until we find another spot for you three. What do we do now?
We wait...for our lives to change. Again.
